More than 6 hours after taking LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell with the No. 1 overall pick, the Raiders grabbed Miller with the No. 38 overall pick in the second round. The move came after they traded their spot in the second-round pecking order (No. 33) to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for their second-round slot and a fourth-round pick tomorrow.

Miller, 6-foot-5 and 259 pounds, is a receiver-type tight end with adequate blocking skills. He’s been compared to another former Sun Devils tight end, Baltimore’s Todd Heap.
